Greg Sarris, Chairman of the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria,
The San Francisco Chronicle, May 15, 2000

This is what we were promised by Greg Sarris  This artist's rendering was taken from the Graton Rancheria Draft Environmental Impact Statement released in 2007.  Beginning in 2003, this is the picture that Greg Sarris showed in public meetings, reassuring us that the casino would be "tasteful, not gaudy".  Oh, yeah?

This is what we're getting:  This artist's rendering is from Graton Rancheria's Final Environmental Impact Statement released in 2009.  Quite a bit different, isn't it?  But then, it's been nothing but lies from the beginning.  "( Greg Sarris ) insisted the casino would be tasteful, not gaudy...." ( "Casino?  In a cow pasture?, The San Francisco Chronicle, August 20, 2003 )  It's really UGLY, Greg!!!
